The beauty of the nature including delicious looking local foods in this video captivate my attention and interest.😀👍👍

[@ayngelina]

Thanks so much for the kind words. It was really one of my favourite places.

[@ambrosejoseph4843]

You deserve so much for all your and Andreas’ hard work.

[@ayngelina]

Thank you Joseph 🙂

Great video! Grasshoppers are for lightweights! Grubs are for foodies! 😆

[@ayngelina]

Yes I like the way you think !

[@pedroblanco8311]

We're very behind, and are like # 107. Thanks for publishing this with Spanish subtitles (and other languages).

[@ayngelina]

Well it is summer! I hope you're enjoying it.

[@amiek9226]

I think I’d have to psyche myself up to try the chontacuro but I have to say it probably doesn’t get much more Paleo than that! It was lovely to see Andreas sharing his thoughts. This was a fun video!

[@ayngelina]

Haha I thought it would be strange and then I was so surprised it wasn’t. There aren’t a lot of foods Andres hasn’t tried but I wanted his perspective too as I feel like I’m not afraid to eat anything but he’s more reserved.

[@Lurloveshorses]

So many fresh wonderful foods in Ecuador , thanks for sharing i love your videos and seeing other parts of the world 🌎 😊

[@ayngelina]

I’m thrilled you enjoy it

[@Jetmab04]

Oh, this (the larvae) is what you made me promise to eat when I come to Ecuador 😊 Will do 💕

[@ayngelina]

Yes I did!

[@michaellatour3697]

Muy bonito 😍

Claro que si.

[@Well0Being]

I was just in the Amazons at the ApuNapu Ecolodge in Loreto, Ecuador literally 1 day ago with my family! Our meals weren’t this typical, rather they shared how the locals/natives survive on the land and etc. Enjoy!

[@ayngelina]

That is so interesting, definitely shows you that even the Amazon is diverse from cities to more rural areas.

[@pedroblanco8311]

Once again, you have done an excellent job presenting us with parts and foods previously unknown. When you were at the mercado, did you see Citrus Bergamot? (Feel free to use this question in your Live Q&A tomorrow). We haven't looked for this previously in Ecuador, however it recently came on our radar of potential interest. Thanks for letting us know.

[@ayngelina]

I know it very well but have never seen it. Bergamot is a Mediterranean fruit and not native to the Americas. It’s possible it exists but not likely sold in markets as the flavour profile is not used in Ecuadorian cooking. But in South America it’s possible foreigners from Italy could have brought it over, so may be more likely to see it on specialty markets in Argentina. I’m just trying to think of what would replace it for a recipe. Usually it’s a mix of lemon and naranja agria. But I actually find actual lemons, instead of limes, rare to see as well although not impossible.

[@mars54mars54]

beautiful places in the east, really look forward to spending time there one day! Fascinating how creatively various cultures do food from their environment, but nope... 😑not gonna challenge the gag reflex on larvae!

[@ayngelina]

I promise you the grilled larvae are really like a soft hot dog. I was so surprised.

[@johannagranda5734]

Que genial, probaste casi todos los platos que mas sobresalen alla, la cachama también se lo hace en caldo y existe un caldo más llamado caldo de novios que también es otro plato típico de allá. En la costa, en el campo existe una bebida llamada colada de chontilla con maduro o borroque que es similar a la chicha de chontaduro, solo que esta fruta es más pequeña pero el color es igual aunque no se si sepa igual ya que se lo endulza con el maduro y me dicen que también es bien rico!

[@ayngelina]

Estas son cosas buenas a tener en cuenta. Eres un antropólogo de la comida ecuatoriana 😊

[@johannagranda5734]

@@ayngelina Gracias! Me encanta conocer la cultura y gastronomía de mi país, inlcuso de países afuera me llama la atención también!

[@k_and_m8745]

I will take your word on the larvae but will not say that I would not try it. Always gave my kids experiences outside of what was considered the norm in Canada to eat but recently got told by one of them that I did not expose them to tomatoes, lol. Funny, I bought and grew tomatoes, so interesting how they recall their upbringing.

[@ayngelina]

Come on, you don't like Vienna sausages?

[@angelacarrerarivera]

I am ecuadorian but this food really looks like from another country to me hahaha never been on the Amazon region

[@ayngelina]

Oh I love to hear this!

[@juliebabin]

I tried the chonta in a juice but I found it has a powdery texture and not so much taste. I'll give it another try in chicha, it looks delicious. Was it a hot or a cold chicha?

[@ayngelina]

It was room temperatura 😊

[@carmiebrogan2627]

Not sure I could do it. One of those things that it might be better not to know until after I ate it.

[@ayngelina]

We will blind fold you!

They're OK, I guess. I'm trying to imagine one with a crunchy head lol. I may try one at some point, but not for breakfast

I had this after breakfast if that helps :)

[@ayngelina]

Of course.

[@keyboards6364]

@@ayngelina compared to canandian men which one you like ? How they different from Latin men ?

[@ayngelina]

Well Latin America is large and so between countries there are vast differences and not all men from a country are the same. In Canada people come from all different backgrounds as we have such a rich immigration history that makes it such a great country. So really I don't know if I could compare them.

I don't date in Ecuador so I wouldn't be much help there but if you follow Capture Joseph, his girlfriend is Ecuadorian.
